Pics: Art and Garden Fair

Does anyone remember the "Biorhythm Computer" they used to have at the fair? It spat out a punch card that reputedly gave your biorhythms based on your birthdate or something like that. As I recall it was towards the front in an area with several booths. Seemed amazing at the time, and at that age.

Patio design, 1966 style. "Designed by Dennis Untermann," the card says.

1964 West End Nursery display. Won a whole bunch of blue ribbons, it appears. The hanging basket thingie is classic.

I'm quite interested, my neighbor George Murata used to get the blue ribbon most every year for his Japanese gardens at the fair,they finally made him a judge so others had a chance. I later worked for him & started my own business in 1976.

Steve, I'm not sure what the County Fair deal was in those days, if there was one or where it was held. What we attended pretty much every year in Ross, and what this pic was from, was officially called the "Marin Art & Garden Fair."

I'm interested.

Paul, I think we went to the Marin County Fair in '64 at the Ross Art & Garden location.

Was your post and that one and the same during those years ?

Marin Art & Garden Fair, 1964. I resisted the temptation to title this "Great Purses of the 1960s."



I have a lot more A&G pics from various years, and while many of them are boring, some do give an idea of what was then regarded to be state-of-the-art Marin-style ornamental horticulture. Any interest?
